So I tried to get them all, but I think I didn't look this one up;
-
this is Enoch stealing the new Jesus:
-
He had darkened his face and hands with brown shoe polish, so that
-
if he were seen in the act, he would be taken for a colored person.
-
Then he had sneaked into the museum while the guard was asleep and
-
had broken the glass case with a wrench he borrowed from his landlady.
-
Then, shaking and sweating, he had lifted the shriveled man out
-
and thrust him in a paper sack, and had crept out again past the
-
guard who was still asleep.
-
He realized as soon as he got out of the museum that,
-
since no one had seen him to think he was a colored boy,
-
he would be suspected immediately and would have to disguise himself.
